The defense was dominant, and the Bobcats controlled the pace throughout the entire game as Hope starts its conference run 1-0. Ten Bobcats scored points for Hope, as a well balanced attack kept Ashdown struggling to figure out an answer Tuesday night.

Isaac Love knocked down two three-pointers and finished with 9 points and 4 rebounds. KD Gulley had a great night with 9 points and 9 rebounds as he dominated the glass. 

Keshaun King (6), Corinthian Brown (4), Jay Monk (2), Jalen Staggers (2), Kamron Walton (2), and Eddrick Lard (1) each scored for the Bobcats. 

The Bobcats are back in action on Friday night at home as they host Malvern for another big conference matchup.
